2 - 500-gallon aboveground fuel tanks

The State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Division of Procurement Services, on behalf of the Department of Corrections, is seeking quotations for the provision of two 500-gallon aboveground fuel tanks, one for diesel and one for gasoline, to support vehicle operations at the Downeast Correctional Facility. The selected vendor will be responsible for the delivery and installation of the tanks within 10 weeks of the order. Quotations are due by October 22nd, 2024, and the State reserves the right to negotiate the purchase of additional units at the bid price for six months after the award is made. Pricing must be provided on a "Free on Board (FOB) - Destination" basis, and the State is exempt from paying federal, state, and local taxes. The State will evaluate the quotations based on best value, which may consider factors such as delivery time in addition to the lowest price. A pre-bid site visit is required on September 17th at 1:00 pm.

The Request for Quotations (RFQ) does not set any restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, and it does not identify any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The RFQ also does not provide a specific award value or budget range, but the ability to negotiate additional purchases suggests potential for further orders.
